A big thank you to everyone who came to see us at the Old Dominion Horse Show and North American Pony Championships. It was so hot but many braved the heat and we had a blast! The beneficiary for 2010 was Danny and Ron's Rescue Dogs, which is such a worthy cause.
Another thanks to everyone who came out to Diamond's Billiards on Midlothian Turnpike to get chair massages and to watch the games. Congratulations to Brandon Shuff, the winner, for a job well done.
Our next event will be Woof Wag Walk on October 23rd, 2010, at Taylor Park from 10:00 - 2:00. More information to follow, so keep checking back with us!
